The Sentinel All the news that's fit to print and some that's not.
Tomato Soup This is something I do not understand; why is there no tomato soup? I have roamed this whole town and cannot find tomato soup. The grocery stores have every other kind of soup that they normally have, so what is happening? There always were cases of tomato soup on every grocery shelf, until this Covid-19 virus came along and then all the tomato soup vanished into thin air. Did someone corner the tomato soup market and is he/she hoarding it until people get so desperate they are willing to pay any price for that can of soup? Could it be that tomato soup is the cure for Covid-19? That could be the answer, which leads to another question. Who scooped the soup? Was it the president? He looks healthy and has no fear of the virus. Was it the CIA? They are perhaps smuggling it into foreign countries to buy influence there. Maybe it's the army; don't they want healthy, virus free troops? I know it's not the navy because they have thousands of men/women down with the virus. Does the army want the navy to vanish so they get more defense funding? Something smells fishy here and this reporter means to get to the bottom of this story. Surely this reporter wouldn't want to find the stash of tomato soup and then hoard it all for himself.	Levitation I suppose most people do not ponder levitation as much as I do or perhaps they don't ever think about it at all, but somebody has to and why not me? I see magicians have what looks like they can levitate, but they always have some illusion in there that we just can't see. This reporter has been fascinated with levitation for many years, almost to the point of being obsessed about it. I used to think about it every night as I laid in bed awaiting sleep. I would try to think and believe I could lift off the bed and just be suspended in air above my mattress, even went so far as see myself floating just below the ceiling and peering down on the empty spot where I would normally be. I imagined how people's faces would look when standing in normal conversation with them, I would slowly begin to rise from the floor. What would I see? would they begin slowly backing away? Would their eyes bug out? Would they shriek, turn and run? Think of how much fun that would be, especially at a party after they had a few cocktails in them. Would I get calls the next day with people telling me how drunk they must have been to think they saw me lifting slowly off the ground?	Mental Telepathy This reporter and his charming wife seem to be communicating mentally without speaking the words these days. I thought it was just because we have been together for 56 years now and thereby know what the other will say in any given situation. However lately I am noticing I can and do seem to know what people I speak with are going to say before they say it. Here is a link to a medical study proving telepathy is possible and some people can do it as far as 5000 miles away. Some weird things are happening to me these days. It is not everything every day and I have no control over it, but I start thinking about something and within a few days it happens. It is scary when I think about bad things happening and they do soon after I have the thought. Is it intuition or something else I cannot explain? On the most basic level I have thought about an old movie I liked and would like to see and within a week or two it shows up and I watch it again. Back when we were winding up our casino trips I would be sitting there with a tremendous hand and know that the dealer had a better one. I couldn't not play the hand, but I knew it was a loser and I was never wrong. I mentioned it to a dealer and she said I was full of crap. I took minor offence at that and for the next five hands in a row I told her how the hands would end as soon as I saw my cards. I told her what I had with a good hand that she would beat and a junk hand that would beat her and I was correct each time. She got more than a little freaked out, but she left on her break time and never came back.
